: Adding curved drop shadows using Gimp I was going through a few website designs and I really liked this pointed corner drop shadow: How can I add similar shadow effect using The Gimp or

@Harper654

Let me speak for CSS only:

The trick is to define an :after and :before pseudo elements which you then rotate and position under your content div.

Basically you create your div with your content:

<div class="box effect">
...
</div>


An apply this CSS rules:

.box {
width:70%;
height:200px;
background:#FFF;
margin:40px auto;
}
.effect2
{
position: relative;
}
.effect2:before, .effect2:after
{
z-index: -1;
position: absolute;
content: "";
bottom: 15px;
left: 10px;
width: 50%;
top: 80%;
max-width:300px;
background: #777 ;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 15px 10px #777 ;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 15px 10px #777 ;
box-shadow: 0 15px 10px #777;
-webkit-transform: rotate(-3deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(-3deg);
-o-transform: rotate(-3deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(-3deg);
transform: rotate(-3deg);
}
.effect2:after
{
-webkit-transform: rotate(3deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(3deg);
-o-transform: rotate(3deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(3deg);
transform: rotate(3deg);
right: 10px;
left: auto;
}
